Do you run your own personal relay and connect to it?

Yes!!!! Lol
Of course, Not your relay not your notes
Yes, of course.
Also, "Your Relay, Your Rules" :D
I'm using Start9 and it works with Amethyst but only with tor.
Local .local connection in LAN.
Yes on start9
Yes on umbrel
Same.
I'd been running one on Start9, but honestly, I got to the point I just couldn't deal with the Tor headache anymore. I love Start9, but I'm gonna have to wait for the 0.36 update or 0.40 before I try it again. I'd be open to running one, temporarily until then, on a laptop or VSP, but seems very difficult to set up. If anyone knows a fairly easy way, please advise... ¯\_ʘ‿ʘ_/¯
Not yet.
I intent to in the near (ish) future.
Tailscale + Umbrel
I don't currently, what's the cost to run one?
I tried to set one up but got stuck in the process
Yes I run my relay, quite big one
Any good guides / websites on getting started with running a relay?
Run one on my Start9
I see what you did there 🫡
Of course. Considering starting a private one for friends and family, too.
A WILD @P APPEARS!
Hey finpel.
It costs {one cheap VPS} or a spare computer at home. Not unlike an Urbit planet.
Interesting. I'd love to see Nostr pick up some traction, but I'd be equally pleased (if not more so) to see Urbit-based alternatives do well.

Nice think about Nostr is it is entirely permissionless. I've gotten really blackpilled on the Urbit naming/network system lately. It goes against my cypherpunk instincts.
That said, I'm excited to hear about the plans to rip out Azimuth as a standalone protocol. Urbit without Azimuth (and without Ames) is closer to where we are headed with Pallas
